Where do I start?

Hi Guys,

Once again I have jumped in at the deepend :) and need to pull off effect that I have no idea where to begin with.

I'm in the process of designing my personal website and it contains a butterfly. I used a brush in Photoshop so it's just an outline with no fill. I would really like to have this butterfly animated in Flash. I know I've seen others sites with similiar animation but can't recall their name right now.

Anyone out there got some tips for me to start this process?

Cheers. YP

Here are some source files I found on flash kit relating to butterflys:

The page with all the animations:
http://www.flashkit.com/search.php?term=butterfly&cat=movies&version=--&per=10&field=Description&orderby=Rating&andor=or&page=1&submit=Submit

The most realistic one:
http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Basics/Animation/Butterfl-Forrest_-3329/index.php

If you need more particular help just reply back!

Dan, this is exactly what I'm looking for. Cheers. Let me see how I get on with these sources file, and if I need help, I'm come looking. :)

It's odd though, I did a search last night for 'butterflys' on FK and got nadda. Mind you, I was knackered at the time so maybe I made a typo. I am notorious for them.

Flash Kit's search engine is very picky when it comes to searching. I try to always use a singular words for what I am looking for, I usually never make it plural because then I will never find it. In example, search for 'butterfly' instead of 'butterflys'. Hope these source files work out for you!

I'm sure they will.

Plus, I think I searched only in tutorials. You link was in the .fla area.
